Red Dawn 1 – Meet the Ulyanovs

This is our first episode in the Russian Revolution series, which we have dubbed “Red Dawn” as we enjoy bad cinematography. The episode itself is the story of Lenin’s childhood, as we decided to split up his biography in two parts. I hope we can match Mike Duncan in quality and do this properly. As it’s one of the murkiest things in Soviet history, to be honest. Anyways, enjoy!

I’m wondering if you’ve read or heard of anything by Dmitri Volkognov. Back in the early nineties he started writing biographies of Stalin, Lenin and others right at the end of the Soviet Union and so go access to a lot of information that had just become open and might have since been closed off again. I’ve read his work on Stalin, and it was rather comprehensive.
